This is not a Dan Brown Novel But it Should Be!
This is not a usual family story; it is more like something from a Dan Brown conspiracy novel, full of intrigues including a contrived 'extinction' of one of the world's greatest bloodlines, the English Louvain-Percy male bloodline (from Charlemagne), whilst it still existed in the Cadet Percy Beverley line.
It is also about our direct Taunton Cambridge, Sherborne and New Zealand family line whose living descendants, the 6th, 7th and 8th consecutive New Zealand Percy eldest sons and over 40 New Zealand Percy cousins claim Louvain-Percy male descent, and have applied to resolve this without doubt through the exhumations in Cambridge and male DNA comparisons with any of our living New Zealand eldest sons. A reply from Cambridge City has been received and one is pending from Cambridge University.
This website is also about credibility and our wishes to submit our evidences to scrutiny in Britain, Europe and the United States of America, and wherever Percys and their many derivative names (Piercy, Pearsey, Pursey etc) exist.
We are grateful to many who have advised us but especially to The London College of Arms and the Garter Principal King of Arms, Mr. Peter Gwynn-Jones, who saw enough in our protocol submissions, evidences and family trees to accept and oversee our case.
